The homogenate was subjected to centrifugation at 15 OOOg,, for IOmin and the residue was then washed with buffer A and re-centrifuged. The combined supernatant fractions were centrifuged at 23000g,,. for 60min and then stirred for 20min with DEAE-cellulose ( IOOml settled volume) that had been equilibrated in buffer A. The slurry was then poured into a column (lOx4cm) and washed with buffer A ...

Statistical studies have demonstrated that various agents may reduce the risk of cancer's development. One of them is activity of flavin-dependent enzymes such as flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO)(GS-OX1), FAD-dependent 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and flavin-dependent monoamine oxidase. In the last decade, many papers concerning their structure, reaction mechanism and role in t...

The activities of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-CH3THF) related enzymes and DNA polymerase alpha were determined in bone marrow cells obtained from patients with vitamin B12 deficient megaloblastic anemia and compared with those from healthy volunteers and patients with hemolytic anemia. 5-CH3THF homocysteine methyltransferase activity was significantly lower than that in the control subjects. 5,...
